What people say

Proper & Son is a contemporary café located in the bustling South Melbourne Market. They pride themselves on using only the freshest and best produce available, which is evident in their delicious menu offerings. Their blueberry toast with goat's curd and blueberry compote is a must-try, as well as their house gravlax with warm potato and sweet mustard dressing. The sardines are also a popular choice among customers, thanks to the market-fresh seafood used. Proper & Son caters for corporate and celebratory lunches, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. Their chicken roll has been a best-seller for eight years running, proving that some things never go out of style. The spicy prawn cocktail with Guinness soda bread is another standout dish that should not be missed. With new menu items regularly added, such as the roast lamb salad with hummus and pomegranate or the asparagus toast with egg mayo and parmesan, there's always something exciting to try at Proper & Son.
